Welcome to 1BC, joshr162!

Would you be able to provide the exact error message? This would help us in our advice.

Ahh.  We've seen that one before.

Check out this thread here:
http://www.1bcciv.com/Topic2240246-8-1.aspx

and you'll see a couple links there that will help.  Basically its a DirectX error and updating it (with the links in that thread) to the most currect version should fix it.

Please let us know if that fixes your problem.

There are 2 links on that thread. The 1st one, it scans your Direct X and tries to update anything it finds that is out of date. The 2nd link just updates the full Direct X without scanning anything. When I got that error long ago, the 1st link didn't fix my problem, but the 2nd one did.

To make it easy, I've pasted that 2nd link here.

I believe that should fix your error. If not, please let us know.
